Professor Nowosielski about Marlena Nizio: “Marlena Nizio studied painting in my atelier (...). Yet I did not expect such a strong hit, such a massive activity of the already shaped artistic vision, better to say: inborn, ready and absolutely independent. It even frightens me. When the beginning brings something so complete and fully formed, what will be next? Where is the place for progress and for maturation? These are pedant questions. In front of artistic facts such questions cannot be asked. One should be grateful for what has already been given to us, because such moments of joy and satisfaction are rare in the contemporary painting. (...) Someone already formed enters on the artistic scene. Someone with a true and individual artistic vision, who does not have to search out for it because it is already given to that person. It is beyond any doubts. (...) Everything we can do now is to sit and rejoice over it. In times which are so difficult for art, full of doubts about the future of painting, these pictures prove that such forecasts are wrong.”
